Winterton on SeaThe dunes are a nature reserve and an Area of outstanding Natural Beauty with SSSI and SAC status. They cover a huge area and are shared and enjoyed by bird watchers and walkers as well as families. Wildlife includes a colony of terns, natterjack toads and (thankfully rare) adders. The beach is vast and uncrowded and a colony of seals have made the beach to the north of the village their home. The pretty and very friendly village has an excellent pub, boasting up to 5 guest ales and cider, good food and a varied menu with frequently updated 'specials' menu. Well behaved dogs are welcome and will usually get a biscuit and a drink, too. The Hermanus holiday centre with its picturesque round houses is a few minutes walk from the cottage, it serves excellent food with a sea view and is open to non-residents. The village also boasts a Post Office + General Stores, a Chip Shop and a mini-mart. There is also the brilliant Dunes Cafe for breakfasts, ice creams, 'proper' coffee, lunchtime specials, superb cakes, .. (I could go on...!) as well as beach essentials.

About the neighbourhood

Winterton-on-Sea is a traditional seaside village that has managed to avoid over-commercialisation. It has its share of holiday accommodation, but retains its individual character. The village itself is a Conservation Area and the dunes between the village and the beach is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Site of Special Scientific interest. The dunes are covered in grass, moss and heather and make for an enjoyable walk, aside from any interest you may have in the wildlife. A colony of seals 'reside' on the beach to the north of the village and can often be seen playing in the waves along the coastline.

Getting around

There are buses into Lowestoft (along the Suffolk coast) and Great Yarmouth; thence trains to Norwich and from there trains or coaches to the rest of the UK. However, a car is essential for local journeys. There is parking for one car on the front drive, and another can be parked on the road outside (boxing it in). There is also free parking in the village.
